LegendOfNufcThat's how it was for me on FIFA12, but this year it's much harder imo.

I had to sell Kagawa to Real Madrid for £28m, now I'm looking to buy Mario Götze from Dortmund.Soon I will have a squad full of former Dortmund players lol.I already have Hummels,Gündogan,Lewandowski,Leitner and Reus

Today it was announced that Derry City has purchased the young Simon Andersson from Sweden.The Irish club only had to pay £9k for the promising striker from Borstahusens BK in the Swedish 4th division.Simon played a total of 217 appearances for Borstahusen and made an incredible 169 goals.At the age of 17 he's the youngest player in Derry Citys' squad, and he's looking to take a place in Declan Devines' starting eleven already, this is what he said:

I'm looking forward to work with the Derry City players and staff, I'm quite confident that I will have a place in the starting eleven when the league begin.

Declan Devine is said to be very happy with the signing so far, he said that Simon has showed great talent during the training sessions and he's sure Simon will have a great impact on the team.

Simon have played for 4 clubs already at just the age of 17, the clubs are IK Wormo,BK Landora,Häljarps IF and Borstahusens BK.

Declan Devine has just called me into his office for a so called pre-season meeting, he said he wants to discuss the upcoming season with me, and if I have any suggestions on how I should play for his team.

Declan - Hi Simon, I just wanted to see you for a minute so we can discuss what I expect from you this season and what we expect to reach as a club.

Simon - Hi boss, I'll do my best achieving whatever you want.

Declan - Well, what I expect from you this season is... I want you to score atleast 13 goals in the league, and also make 5 assists, if you can do that, which I am pretty sure you can, I'm pleased.

Simon - I'll do my best boss.

Declan - Good... What I expect from the team this year is to finish atleast top 5, and we should be able to do that now when you've joined the club, our future looks bright with you in our squad.

Simon - Thanks for the kind words, and as I've already said, I'll do my best!

Declan - One last thing before you leave, we have three friendlies coming up, we will play against Clermont, Eintracht Braunsweig and Tigres, I will let you get your first start for the team against Reggina, and if you perform well and feel fit for the other two games, I might play you in them too.

Simon - Thanks boss, I'm really excited about it, and hopefully I can play good against Clermont and give the Derry fans something to cheer about.

Declan - I'm sure you can! I'll see you soon!

Simon - Bye boss!

Simon on his way to Brandywell Stadium to have a talk with Declan Devine, the Derry City manager

The only match Simon didn't play was against Tigres, but against Clermont he scored 2 times, which was his debut game for the Irish side, and he scored all 3 against Braunsweig!Simon has really proved what a great player he is even though he's only 18 years old.

The Irish top division is also underway, and so far Derry have played two games, winning them both and sitting top of the table.

4-0 vs St. Pats2-1 vs Bray Wanderers

Simon only played against St. Pats in their 4-0 win, which was Simons' first league game for ``The Candystripes``, and he ended up scoring 2 goals and made one assist to his partner upfront, Rory Patterson.

Rolf Svensson interviewing Derry City manager Declan Devine

Rolf - So Declan, what do you think of Simons' performances so far?

Declan - He has shown himself to be a player of great class already, scoring in every game he played, if he keep this up, he will bring us the league title.

Rolf - It must be tough to keep a player like Simon in Derry when he performs like this, there must be alot of teams trying to talk you into selling him already?

Declan - Two managers have called me and talked about Simon, both teams are from England, that's all I can say.

Rolf - There's rumours about you trying to buy a Swedish striker to partner Simon upfront, is it just a rumour?

Declan - There has been some interest from us to bring in Daniel Larsson from Malmö FF in Sweden, him and Simon upfront would be the perfect partnership I reckon.

Rolf - Thanks for your time Declan and good luck with upcoming games!

Declan - Thank you.

3-0

Simon Andersson played his first match for the Swedish international team today and I'm pretty sure the Swedish nation is pleased with what they saw out on the pitch today.Simon managed to score 2 goals, he also assisted Ibrahimovic on the 1-0 goal.

This is what the Swedish manager had to say about the game.

Erik Hamrén - I predicted a win for us, but never thought we would be this superior.Simon Andersson got his debut today for us and oh my God what a performance it was!2 goals and 1 assist in his international debut speaks for itself, he will become a great player.

The Malmö FF manager Rikard Norling announced earlier today that he promoted the Indian youngster Simon Andersson to the first team squad.Born in Sweden but with a mom from India he chose to play for the Indian national team.Simon is a tall strong striker, he's 6'4 at the age of 18.

This is what Norling said about the new first team player:

Simon has shown great talent during the training sessions with the U20 team, so I decided to give him a try in our first team squad, and hopefully he can become the new Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Wim Koevermans announced today that Simon Andersson will be travelling to India to meet up with the Indian national team squad.India will face Australia and South Korea in their upcoming games and Simon would love to make his international debut for the Blue Tigers.

I am thrilled to have been selected to play for India's national team.

Simon Andersson is about to play his debut match for India against Australia, and Wim Koevermans is convinced Simon will be doing just fine.

Simon Giggs is the freshest and most promising addition to the Doncaster squad this year.He has all eyes on him, and it's not without wondering about the team's 17-year-old striker should be able to live up to expectations. I have no doubt that Simon will be great for the team.In the end it's all about how well he will agree with the rest of the guys. Says Doncaster manager Brian Flynn.

Supporters and critics still believe that the recruitment of inexperienced Giggs is not worth the risk. I expect that Simon will bring energy to the team that rubs off on other players. In some parts of the team has been lacking a bit the last couple of months. I think his talent and enthusiasm will make a big difference. Says Doncaster manager Brian Flynn.But Giggs is cautious, despite Doncaster manager's good words. I will do my best, but it's a bit early to compare me with top players on the team. While I believe in myself and that I have talent. Said Simon Giggs.

That one is one of the favorites to take the step up to make Doncaster a team everyone wants to beat, but according to defender Andy Griffin is the type of stress just part of the game. We are exposed and they can shoot at us, but we have to beat these teams in any case if we are to go up, it does not go with less. He says.The task is facilitated if the striker Simon Giggs can get out the potential that many believe that he has, and the midfield is James Coppinger one of several top players who they hope will be featured both on the scoresheet and in several other statistical lists.James Husband has made a name for himself at junior level and may get the chance to prove his worth this season.

Doncaster played three friendlies in pre-season and managed to win all of them so they got some confidence.Doncaster manager Brian Flynn is said to be very happy with the style of play his team was showing during the pre-season and hope they can continue playing like this during the whole season.

The young Doncaster star Simon Giggs has left Doncaster after just 2 months at the club.Giggs got offered £3000 per week to join Chievo in the Italian top division and he accepted it straight away without having a second thought about it.Chievo had to pay £4.6m to get Doncaster to accept a deal.

High expectations on Giggs

That Chievo shock recruited Simon Giggs has been very noticed.Previously, he played in Doncaster, and now the question is if he can come up to the level expected of him.This may be his first match in Chievo, supporters and the manager is eager to see how it will go for the young talent.Eugenio Corini was succinct when asked what his expectations for Simon. I have full confidence in him. He has driven and believe in yourself. Says the Chievo manager.

stanDRFCI know stan mate, but after playing a couple of games with Donny I realised it was to easy for me, needed a bit more challenge So now I might score against the likes of Milan,Inter or Juve when playing in Serie A

Eugenio Corini today announced to the media that the 18 year-old striker Simon Giggs is loan listed with immediate effect.

Here's what the email from the Chievo manager Corini looks like that he sent to Giggs:

I have decided to loan you out for a season. You are loan listed, and I will let you know when I get a bid. After the loan period, you will get back here to Chievo and then we see what the situation looks like.Regards,Eugenio Corini

Serie B team Stabia loan Giggs

That Simon Giggs goes to Stabia on loan from Chievo is exciting news that may prove to be good for both teams.

I'm glad Stabia manager wants to give me a chance in the team. I also want to thank my manager at Chievo for giving me the opportunity to get this experience. Says Giggs

17 year old Simon Andersson want to impress in Helsingborgs IF since he came to the team.Helsingborg manager Roar Hansen gave his new striker an offer he could not refuse.Simon has played for Borstahusens BK in the Swedish 3rd division for 10 years, but he only played 7 games for the senior team but he managed to score 9 goals.

Offer from Roar Hansen was too good, and it's not every day you get the chance to work with such a high quality team.

Simon believes in himself and that he'll be able to add titles to Helsingborg.

Pre-season is now over for Helsingborgs IF, and what a pre-season it was!They played three fixtures and won them all by atleast 5 goals, the best win was against the Portugese side Guimaraes, who they beat 6-0 away from home.

Aston Villa has unveiled Simon Andersson, striker from Helsingborgs IF, as their latest acquisition.As domestic newspapers already reported, Aston Villa earlier chased the coveted player to gain the place as a striker.Andersson signed the contract after protracted negotiations that eventually agreed with Helsingborgs IF on a price tag of £8m for the player's services.

Official_GR7I play on legendary atm, and it's still easy tbh, so there's not much I can do about the difficulty

Thanks mate, good luck to you too!

I would compare myself to Rooney and RvP tbh.Rooney because of me playing almost like a CAM at some times, getting a couple of assists but also scoring myself.RvP because of the movement I have in and just outside the box + I'm not the fastest one, but still have the skill to get past the likes of Ferdinand,Terry etc, and my finishing is awesome almost all the time.

momo5678Well, since it's only first season my aim is atleast 11th place tbh, we're currently in 13th place and playing really good football so I reckon we could maybe even get 10th or 9th if we continue playing like this. Thanks mate!

Aston Villa won the FA Cup by their victory against Manchester United in an one sided match. We dedicate this victory to all the fans, but you can not help but to love this team.They have been so good all the way, and today they showed how worthy they are off winning this title. Said an overjoyed Paul Lambert.

Aston Villa 4-0 Manchester United

Chelsea champions of the Barclays Premier League

Chelsea ended the season in the best way when they won the Premier League title. We kept the team together and believed in what we were doing all the way, that's why we won. Said a visibly pleased Rafael Benitez.

I am pleased to tell you that I have called you in to the squad for Germany in the upcoming Confederations Cup.I can not explain enough how important this tournament is for our national team.Just being selected for the national team is an honor.I expect that you and the other players give one hundred percent if you get to play.It will be great to have you on the team.

Today it was announced that Portugese side FC Porto had offered £13m for Aston Villa striker Simon Andersson, the answer might be a chock to alot of people.

When I got offered that kind of money for Simon, I had to talk to him about if he wanted to stay or wanted to go. Of course I want him to stay here but it's hard to say no to £13m. Said Paul Lambert.

I have enjoyed my six months at Villa so far, and I'm looking forward to another season with them, I declined the offer from Porto, I'd love to stay here and play for Aston Villa and the amazing fans Paul Lambert.

Germany won the Confederations Cup thanks to his great victory against Spain in the final.According to the German coach Löw Joacim where they worth the victory.

It feels so incredibly beautiful! To be involved in a major tournament for national teams and win, and win top scorer, it's absolutely incredible! Words can not describe how happy I am right now! Shouts Simon Andersson

Simon Andersson has recently been in Germany on holiday to spend some time with his relatives, but that's not the only thing he did in Germany...According to German media Simon was involved in a rape, where him and two of his friends raped a 23 year old woman.Lambert was furious about what he read about his talented striker, and decided to fine Andersson with three weeks of wage.

Now we just have to wait and see if there will be something more about this, maybe Simon wants to leave after his little fight with the Villa manager, or maybe he's staying and playing better than he ever have?

After much speculation about the young German striker Simon Andersson leaving or staying at Aston Villa after his fight with the Villa manager Paul Lambert, he decided to leave, but he didn't go far.Andersson joins another Premier League side, that team is The Toons, also known as Newcastle United.The young striker left Villa for a fee of £10m, a big signing for the mid-table team.

I'm very pleased to welcome Simon to the club, he's a talented player and it will be nice to see him playing for us at Newcastle. I am confident that he will fit into the team straight away and help us get great results. Says Newcastle manager Alan Pardew.

A number of players have left Newcastle United this January, including Moussa Sissoko, Yoann Gouffran, Davide Santon and Simon Andersson.

I thought it was wrong for Pardew to sell Sissoko, Gouffran and Santon, it created unrest in the team and it was noticeable even at practices and games, therefore I also will no longer remain on the team. Said Simon Andersson

I write the scorers down in the notepad tbh PEStar, then I just copy it and paste it into here...And you don't have to like my updates, because I don't care about what you think, no need to be rude and saying they're awful though
